How It In to b« C^OoeuO-A ll».
Inspection of Orlflln's I*to,t
Plan. <r ^
The committee appointed at the
first meeting of the board to prepare
a proper scheme of organisation for
the Station and Experiment Farm
submitted the following report
through its chairman, Prof. White,
and it was adopted without dissent:
To the Board of Directors of the
Georgia Experiment Station : Your
committee to which was- referred the
preparation of a proper scheme of or¬
ganisation for the Station and Ex¬
periment Farm, has carefully consid¬
ered the provision* of the acta of
Congress and the legislative act, un¬
der which this board is organized,
and, by correspondence and other¬
wise, made itself acquainted with the
details of organization of similar sta¬
tions and forms in other States. The
scheme herein proposed is believed to
be perfectly adapted to carry out the
designs of the acts establishing the
station and form,land is similar to
that adopted in many States where
year* of experience have shaped the
organisations to be moat effective.
CHARACTER OF THE WORK.
In specifying the character of work
that is to be done in the several
States for the advancement of agri¬
culture as a science and As an art,
the act of Congress (the provisions of
which are mandatory upon this
board) recognizes as distinct and yet
as co-operative, two classes of inves¬
tigation—those which may be consid¬
ered purely scientific and are con¬
ducted in laboratories* and those
which are purely agricultural and
must be conducted in the field. These
two kinds of work may be carried on
separately, and yet they must fre¬
quently be conjoined; they mast be
in harmony with each other and co¬
operate in the establishment of the
scientific truths underlying all
branches of agriculture. Our State
wisely emphasizes this classification
of the work and provides for the es¬
tablishment of a station and farm.
Whether the two are to be placed to¬
gether in the same locality or to be
locally separated (as this board is
permitted to determime) yet the or¬
ganizations must, t® a certain ex¬
tent, be distinct and independent.
SCHEME OF ORGANIZATION.
Your committee has, therefore, pre¬
pared a scheme of organization for
each.
1. The Station.—This is to be
charged with the conduct of the pure¬
ly scientific researches and requires
for its work scientific men who are
trained experts in the use of the ap¬
paratus and methods of physical,
chemical and bjological laboratories.
The officers of the station should
be:—First, a chemist, whose duty it
should be to make, in addition to
such original investigations as he
might deem useful and proper, all
analyses and chemical determina¬
tions that might be required in con¬
nection with the work upon the farm
or in the researches of the station.
As the chemical work will be largely
in excess of that of any other line of
investigation, one and probably two
assistants should be allowed to this
department.
Second. An entomologist whose
duty it should be to investigate the
habits of insects and the remedies for
such as are destructive.
Third. A botanist, capable of de¬
termining and studying plants and
the diseases to which they are sub¬
ject er with which they are affected.
Fourth. A meteorologist, who
should conduct meteorological ob¬
servations at the station and be com¬
petent to organize and arrange for
such observations at different points
in the State and of properly appreci¬
ating and presenting the result of
such observations.
TO ENCOURAGE SPECIALISTS.
In addition to these regular officers,
permanently employed, the station
should have at command the means
to engage, from time to time, the
services of specialists to carry ont
Special researches of a scientific char¬
acter. It might be necessary, for ex¬
ample, to engage at some time, for a
few months the services of a erypto-
gamic botanist of great reputation
to investigate a special class of plant
diseases. Such an one need not be
permanently employed, however,
and, indeed, could not be, with the
funds at command. A proviso to the
act of appropriation under the Hatch
act in the last Congress requires cer¬
tain work of a geological character
to be done. The station will need,
therefore, temporarily, and for a part
of the year, a geologist. He need not,
however, be a permanent officer.
Other lines of special scientific work
eoukl be suggested as proper for the
station to undertake. The board
could, of course, arrange for these
from time to time.
It is possible that for the present a
man might be found capable of dlo-
tbe ordinary duties of both
be
necessary forthe
urates andmate-
______ i.
TEE FARM.
First. An agriculturalist, who
should be an expert farmer, thor¬
oughly informed mud well skilled in
the methods of cultivating crops and
in ail the ordinary operations of the
term. .
Second. A horticulturist—an ex¬
pert in all that pertains to tbs cul¬
ture of fruits. H
Third. A dairyman, who should
he charged with the care of the cat¬
tle and conduct of the practical op¬
erations connected with such experi¬
ments as might be made in dairying,
cattle feeding, etc.
Fourth.* A secretary and account¬
ant, who should keep the books and
accounts of the.farm and make the
proper showings of profit and loss in
each experiment.
Two of the above offices might
probably be combined.
As at the Station, so at the form,
provision should be made for the oc-
casfonal engagement of specialists.
A vetinarian, for example, might
from time to time be profitably em¬
ployed. So an expert in wine-mak¬
ing mid in other special industries.
It may occasionally become neces¬
sary to repeat certain agricultural
experiments in different parts of the
State, so as to determine the effect of
different climates and soils. In the
distribution of revenues the board
should be prepared to arrange for
these as occasion requires.
Hie farm should be provided with
funds necessary to employ labor and
to supply stock, seed, fertilizers and
such other materials as would be re¬
quired.
A GENERAL DIRECTOR WANTED.
The station and the farm being
thus organized, there is still to be
provided one officer who should have
general direction of the operations of
both, who should be capable of har¬
monizing and fitting together the
works of the two, and who should be
held primarily responsible to this
board for the conduct of both. Such
an officer ia generally called the “di¬
rector,” and we presume the officer
denominated in the legislative act as
“superintendent” would be expected
to discharge the duties of this posi¬
tion. He should be charged with the
organization of the work of the sta¬
tion and farm, should designate the
general lines of experimentation to
be followed and exercise general su¬
pervision over them, without,howev¬
er. being expected or required to have
special knowledge or exercise special
direction in the expert word. He
should edit the bulletins of the sta¬
tion and attend to their distribution.
He should, in short, .be recognized
head of the entire establishment.
Such an office might with propriety
be at the same tim e, one of the spe¬
cial officers enumerated above, and
in fact it would be better and more
economical if he were. If poesible he
should be one of the farm officers and
reside upon the form. It will readily
occur to the board that such an of¬
ficer should be, at the same time, a
man of scientific attainments, a man
of affairs, and a man conversant
with the practical operations of the
farm and familiar with the methods
of scientific experimentation.
This committee does not consider
itself charged with the duty of sug¬
gesting the amounts of salaries to be
paid to the officers and ^employes,
or otherwise arranging for the ex¬
penditure of the revenues. - After
careful investigation and considera¬
tion of the relative labors and value
of the station and the farm, they
strongly recommend, however, that,
as far as practicable, an equal ap¬
propriation be made to each.
Respectfully submitted.

The value of a remedy should be estimated
by its curative properties. According to this
standard, Ayer’s Sarsaparilla is tile best and
most economical blood medicine in the mar¬
ket, because the most pure and concentrated.

The Benefit Last Night.
The play of “Forget-Me-Not” as
rendered the Maude Atkinson Combi¬
nation last night was very fine, they
outdoing their former effort of a few
nights before. The audience was
fair, and showed their appreciation
by their rapt attention and applause,
and the many kind expressions after
the play was over. The acting of
Miss Atkinson and Julian Grew were
especially fine.

Bailey, Jr., and the editor of the
News boarded their car a few, minutes
after its arrival a»d found most of
its occupants about to retire to their
berths. The freedom of the city was
SXtended to the distinguished party,
all of whom expressed great regrets
at not being able to accept it on ac¬
count of the lateness of the hour.
“We had expected to arrive here at
six o’clock atflret, and afterward at
eighto’elock, As we telegraphed,” said
Mr. Williamson, “but were detained.
We were very anxkws to spend a few
hours in Griffin, asft is one of the im¬
portant points on o«r route. We will
probably come back later.”
“I have been much impressed by
.
what I hare read of Griffin in the
DiOly News,” said Col. Alfred Bully,
who has been a subscriber for over
two years paet. At this Col. Evan
Howell looked at him reproachfully,
as much as to say that he ought to
take the Constitution too. “And I
was very desirous of seeing Mr. Sear¬
cy, as I have much to say to him.”
“Griffin is a point that can not be
ignored on the raffipoad map of Geor
gia,” said Simon Borg.
“No, indeedl” said B. K. Dow.
“I had rather stop in Griffin than
anywhere.” said J. W. English.
“I believe I had rather go bed,”
said W. B. Lowe.
And so they went to bed; but not
until they had heard the news of
Griffin getting the Experimental
Farm, and had expressed their warm
congratulations thereon. All except
Evan Howell.
